hi... talk me out of downloading ts3

✨sleepy hollow — lot download✨

there’s just something about building smol neighborhoods that give me so much joy ;-; hopefully it’s something y’all can use in-game for your sims

about sleepy hollow —

40 x 30 lot built in brindleton bay

4 small family-sized houses + layouts for each one

download comes with cc + personal conversions (593.45 mb)

before you get the lot…

instead of asking for donations to relief funds to access the lot download, all i ask is that you consider making yourself aware of the political climate back home in the philippines. once again, it is under threat of being under tyrannical leadership during election season through rigged ballots, brutal force, and threats of martial law. to take it a step further, the government has shut down a major local broadcasting network to keep citizens and foreigners alike in the dark so as to continue their reign of abuse.

if you have the time and the willingness, i urge you to read up on the political situation my mother-country is facing and extend a helping hand if it is within your means.

how to acquire the lot (hehe sorry for the whiplash) —

send me an ask off anon, and i’ll send you a link :)

thank you for letting me use my blog as a platform and an amplifier to speak on things that are near and dear to my heart. ₍՞◌′ᵕ‵ू◌₎♡ — c.

SHADOWS FOR DAYS - a visual mod by amoebae: version 1.0.1

The Sims 4 has an annoying ‘feature’ (read: glitch) where, when using the tab mode camera and tilting it up, distant shadows disappear quite abruptly. This makes the world look flat and lifeless, and has ruined countless otherwise beautiful screenshots for us all!

After lots of head-scratching, a frustrated (and unanswered) post on EA Answers HQ, and lots of theorising, I gave up ever finding a solution.

Until I stopped giving up and suddenly found a solution! And not only does it stop the shadows from disappearing, it also pushes them back into the distance so almost every tree and building and object that can have a shadow does have a shadow!

—

If it sounds too good to be true, that’s because it is. Unfortunately, fixing the shadows in this way introduces another glitch, but it’s one that I think is far more acceptable than not having shadows.

The glitch: every so often, when you tilt the tab mode camera at just the right angle, for a degree or two, some bits of terrain bug out. They turn low-poly and revert to the lowest texture, becoming pixelated and flat and smooth, and sometimes a black square appears. But this is momentary, and only happens at exactly that precise angle. As soon as you nudge the camera up or down it goes back to normal again.

I know that might concern some people, so it’s entirely understandable if for that reason you want to avoid this. The good news is you can test it out for yourself, and change the settings right back again to their default if you don’t like it. No harm done.

Included in this download is a replacement for the VideoCamera.ini file that you can find in your res folder inside your TS4 Bin folder.

All I’ve changed are the settings that push the in-game shadows further back, and stop them from disappearing when tilting the tab mode camera up.

Some of you might use camera mods that already edit this file. If so, you can edit the file yourself so you don’t lose any of the other settings you’ve changed. There are only 2 settings you need to change. It’s very simple, and you can do it while the game is running and see the change instantly! Instructions are in the download.

IMPORTANT:

I recommend using the GraphicsRules.sgr overhaul by Simp4Sims alongside this mod. Not only will it make your game look beautiful and run more smoothly, but it eliminates a problem with Sims disappearing when the camera is close to them that Shadows for Days introduces.

If you don’t want to use Simp4Sims’ file, I’ve included my own version of the GraphicsRules.sgr file that is identical to the one you already have in your game, but with the clipping distances edited to fix this problem. You place the GraphicsRules.sgr file inside your ConfigOverride folder, which is in the same place as your Mods folder. Placing it here means the default file isn’t edited or changed, so if you don’t want to use the edits anymore you can simply remove it from the ConfigOverride folder and the Maxis version will kick in again.

If you already edit your GraphicsRules.sgr file yourself and don’t want to lose those edits, below are the changes you need to make yourself to eliminate the issue:

Under ‘option ViewDistance’ edit the following line:

prop $ConfigGroup ClipPlaneDistances “0.1, 5, 1000, 1500”

so it instead reads:

prop $ConfigGroup ClipPlaneDistances “0.1, 0.42, 99999, 99999”

—

I’ve included full instructions in the download for installation, uninstallation, and for editing the files yourself. PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY!

—

With thanks to everyone on my discord server who jumped in with both feet to check out these settings, and for everybody who came forward to test the GraphicsRules.sgr file for me <3

[KHD] Ghibli Mini Set

7 all new original meshes

This set is part of a collaboration project, please check out my fellow collaborators to get their goodies!

@keibea | @mechtasims | @johziii

This collaboration was made in an effort to raise awareness for the Ghibli Museum in Mitaka, Japan. The museum, opened in 2001, showcases the art of Japanese animation studio, Studio Ghibli, who created many of our beloved childhood favorites, such as Kiki’s Delivery Service, Spirited Away, and Howl’s Moving Castle. The museum has suffered financially due to COVID restrictions and a fundraising campaigned was launched back in June to help keep it afloat. Though the campaign has already surpassed its goal, non-EU members can still donate until February 1, 2022 by following this link.

For more information please visit the official campaign site here (you can find English instruction at the bottom of the page). Additional context can be found here.
